Office of International Programs seeking nominations for the Global Teaching Academy

The Office of International Programs is accepting nominations for the Global Teaching Academy, which recognizes and celebrates exceptional teaching in an international context. Since its inception in 2014, the Academy has welcomed some two dozen colleagues and recognized their efforts in internationalizing our curricula and our students.

Tenure-track faculty on Auburn’s main campus may nominate themselves or may be nominated by a colleague. Nominations may be made using this form: aub.ie/GTA2023. A select CV highlighting international teaching activities and experience should be uploaded with the form. The deadline for nominations is March 31.

The goals of the Academy are to:

• Recognize our peers for their interest and efforts in globalizing Auburn's curriculum

• Facilitate international course offerings on campus to complement the recent growth of study abroad courses and exchange programs offered overseas

• Create a supportive, interdisciplinary environment for students to internationalize their academic programs

• Induct our recognized academy members into Phi Beta Delta, the honor society for international scholars

Each year the Academy adds five to six faculty, recognized for their international teaching, and these faculty help lead Auburn's efforts in internationalization of the curriculum. Members also play an essential role in Auburn’s biannual International Perspectives on University Teaching and Learning Symposium.
